Despite what the naysayers say, the Caribbean is a forever vibe. There is no way you can visit one of the region’s stunning islands and not feel a sense of happiness and joy. Each offers something unique with views and shorelines that cannot be beaten. Please don’t challenge us on this!

A perfect example of this undeniable joy can be found on the island of Anguilla. It’s just one of those places that makes your heart smile from the minute you arrive on its sandy shores. From the endless blues and luxe resorts to fresh seafood and vibrant fetes, you’ll be smiling from ear to ear.

Anguilla native and brunch enthusiast Khara (@thebrunchbelle) loves to show people around her colorful home and introduce them to tasty foodie gems they might not have discovered on their own. One look at her photos will have you ready to extend your hot girl summer just a few more weeks so you can soak up some of that island joy, lucky for you we’ve got a guide to help ya out. See, you’re smiling already!

01
Welcome to Anguilla
Anguilla is a stunning island filled with shimmering white-sand beaches, coconut palm trees, and colorfully painted buildings. The best time to visit is between May and August when you can find great package deals and avoid the worst of hurricane season. Fly into Clayton J. Lloyd International Airport (AXA) and enjoy the scenic views on the way to your resort.

Luxe Views
You’ll be hard-pressed to find a bad place to stay on Anguilla, but if you want to stay with the best, rest your head at the luxurious Belmond Cap Juluca and enjoy gorgeous views of Maunday’s Bay.

Lobster Bites
There’s no lobster like one pulled fresh out of the Caribbean Sea. Head to Elodia’s Beach Bar for rum, lobster, and good vibes. Don’t forget to tell them we sent you.
